About Christina
Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, family conflict, and low self-esteem. Christina aims to make the first step feel manageable and understand the courage it takes to seek change.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts are welcomed. She emphasizes clear conversation and steady support rather than jargon. Sessions tend to focus on what feels most pressing and what will make daily life a little easier.
Her approach blends strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her offer straightforward tools for coping with strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building toleration for stress. The work usually balances short-term skills with attention to deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
Christina has experience helping people facing issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and substance concerns. She also supports people dealing with divorce, domestic violence, dissociation, and eating-related problems.
People who prefer clear steps, skill-building, and a collaborative tone often find her style helpful. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking so they know how they can meet and schedule time that fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches work online and in your life
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and build routines that reduce anxiety and stress.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns get in the way of daily functioning.
Mindfulness therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment with curiosity. Simple mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity, help with cravings, and support coping with chronic pain or intrusive memories.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and practical exercises that fit the client's needs and daily routine.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help therapy integrate with school, work, or caregiving responsibilities without promising a particular format.
